"The PV5 can be a van, a people mover, a camper, or anything you want it to be given enough time and money. Importantly, it's not another Ford, Mercedes, Stellantis, or Renault van-with-seats."
"Kia wanted to make a car that can be used for ride sharing. It could have made an old school MPV and called it a day, or it could ask the best known ride sharing platform in the world what works."
"In the U.K., Kia hopes to shift 1,250 PV5s in 2026, most of them being the 71.2 kWh Passenger Plus mode with a lot of range and a lot of room for people."
The Kia PV5 is the first vehicle from the Platform Beyond Vehicle lineup, designed to serve multiple purposes such as a van, people mover, or camper. Its Passenger model stands out for everyday use, differentiating itself from traditional vans. Kia aims to establish the PV family as a global presence, leveraging input from potential users and partnerships with companies like Uber and Samsung. The company plans to sell 1,250 PV5s in the U.K. by 2026 and aims for 250,000 units globally by 2030, offering a fresh alternative in a dull market segment.
